MATTERS ARISING 0129(a) Welcome – Director of Education (Minute No. 0111) Ms Brown asked the Chair whether she had received information on the formation of the school consultative group. The Chair advised that the Director of Education was working on the SEND Review and would be setting up a meeting in the summer term. The Chair requested that Headteachers engage in the meeting when details became available. Ms Brown reported that a paper had been presented at Scrutiny Panel that agreed capital spend at Penn Hall School to enable them to admit a broader range of pupils and to commission more places at Tettenhall Wood School and to have a sensory room at Warstones Primary School. Ms Brown noted that the paper had not addressed SEMH but this may be addressed in a later stage of funding. Mr Otero requested that his comment regarding SEN support for primary schools be recorded to reflect that he considered that there was currently a lack of SEN support for primary schools in the City. 0129(b) P16 and Data Sharing The Chair reported that she had not received the amended data sharing document from the Director of Education. 0129(c) Wolverhampton Safeguarding Children Board Update (Minute No. 0115(b)) Ms Brown reported that discussions had taken place to investigate the possibility of ConnectEd Partnership providing further Safeguarding training to compliment the provision currently available and to raise the quality of Safeguarding training available across the City. 0130 LA UPDATE The Chair advised that apologies had been received from the Director of Education and it was hoped that she would be able to attend a meeting in the summer term. 77 0131 The TOWERS UPDATE The Chair advised that apologies had been received from Mr Coombes. The Chair reported that Mr Coombes had attended The Towers with LA Officers to consider the site. Mr Thompson reported that Mr Coombes was working with Mr Hague and other partners to produce a business plan for The Towers. The charging mechanisms, staffing costs and possible costs for refurbishment were under consideration. It was hoped that the new plan would enable The Towers to become more competitive and to continue to provide a valuable service for the young people of Wolverhampton. 0132 SAFEGUARDING UPDATE Ms Brown provided an update from the Wolverhampton Safeguarding Children Board. Colleagues confirmed that they had received a briefing paper prior to the meeting. 0133 CHILDREN’S TRUST DAY 28 MARCH 2018 The Chair encouraged colleagues to attend the Children’s Trust day being held on 28 March. 0134 GLOUCESTER UNIVERSITY OUTREACH TEAM – WIDENING PARTICIPATION OF BAME IN HE Mr Ashfield joined the meeting at this time and was welcomed by the Chair. Mr Ashfield gave an overview of research undertaken by Gloucester University regarding barriers to attending university. Research had found that there was a cultural dynamic to university choice. The university were particularly focusing on Widening Participation of BME students and hoped to complete more focus groups within schools. Mr Ashfield advised that they had previously worked with Aldersley and Colton Hills and planned to work with Heath Park in the near future. The university hoped to build relationships with schools in the area and offered various support to schools including: visits to the university, subject specific visits and support with writing personal statements for students in return for a school hosting a focus group. Ms Hughes asked if reps would attend information evenings attended by students and their families and Mr Ashfield agreed that this would be possible. The group were asked to contact Mr Ashfield directly for further information. The clerk agreed to circulate contact details to the group following the meeting. 0135 KAREER HUB AND P16 IMPLEMENTATION Dr Elliott, Dr Hughes, Mr Hughes, Ms Lalli and Mr O’Callaghan joined the meeting at this time and were welcomed by the Chair. Mr O’Callaghan advised that the Workbox app had been developed for young people in the City and was widely used. The City of Wolverhampton Council (CWC) had brokered a deal to enable Kareer Hub to link in with Workbox. Mr Hughes and Dr Hughes presented information on Kareer Hub, explaining the following: 78 The app aimed to connect the curriculum to labour market trends by providing information on FE and HE courses, apprenticeships and local and national labour market information A Superusers group had been established to facilitate development of the app and included colleagues from Wolverhampton Users were able to search the app using course title, subject area or postcode The elastic search would return related subjects that a user may be interested in, but also sometimes returned unexpected results Kareer Hub would be available to all schools through Workbox for three years in the first instance, with the hope that additional funding would be secured to continue Wolverhampton’s subscription to the app The national Careers Strategy and the Gatsby benchmarks were considered The group completed a short exercise and considered that young people did not have adequate experience of work before they left education The Black Country Careers Development Partnership would be established to consider the Gatsby benchmarks and how they could be met Mr C Jones considered that there had been significant changes to the management of careers advice and guidance in recent years that had been detrimental to young people in England. Mr C Jones stressed that schools recognised the importance of high quality careers advice and support and endeavoured to provide this and welcomed any practical support that could be provided but raised concerns that staff did not have the knowledge to fully support young people. Dr Hughes advised that she had raised this concern with a number of audiences, including with advisors to the government. Mr Gill questioned where the LMI on the app was derived from and was advised that a number of sources were used including the Office of National Statistics and the Labour Force Survey. Dr Hughes advised that the app was able to make LMI projections up to 2024 based on the most reliable sources currently available. Mr O’Callaghan advised that the information was then presented in a format that was suitable for staff and students. Mrs Hughes raised concerns that LMI would be related to trends in London but was reassured by Kareer Hub colleagues that the app analysed local information and data. The group agreed that the search facility would be beneficial in opening conversations with students about the options available to them. Mr C Jones considered that the vital factor in providing careers guidance was the conversations between staff and students and stressed that this was the area that required greater support in schools. Miss Andrioli questioned whether there was information on L1 and L2 opportunities. Dr Hughes advised that the Superusers group had identified this as an area of need and this was currently under development. Mr Hughes advised that vacancy information was not currently available on Kareer Hub but could be developed in the future. Mr O’Callaghan reported that the CWC were working with Pertemps to pilot a vacancy system through Workbox. Mr O’Callaghan advised that Kareers Hub was live and guidance information on it’s use would be sent to schools by the end of the month. Following a 12 week period, it was hoped that the experience of users in schools would be recorded. [Mr Ashfield, Dr Elliott, Dr Hughes, Mr Hughes, Ms Lalli and Mr O’Callaghan left the meeting at this time] 79 The group received the presentation positively however, Mr C Jones questioned whether any Headteachers had been consulted before Kareers Hub was bought in. Colleagues advised that they had not been consulted. The group were grateful that the LA had procured a tool to support careers guidance at no cost to schools in the first instance. ELECTION OF CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR The Chair advised that the group were required to appoint a Chair and Vice Chair at this time.

    Contents Introduction 3 Using the Families of Schools document 7 Black Country in context 11 Family pages 16 Contextual family pages 34 Annex 1 – What it all means: footnotes and explanations 39 Annex 2 – School contact details 45 2 Introduction 1. Families of Schools: the fourth edition The first three editions of Families of Schools for Black Country Secondary schools, published in 2008, 2009 and 2010, were well received. We have been working with schools and education professionals across the Black Country to develop this fourth edition for 2011. As with previous years, this edition includes GCSE results with and without English and maths, a Contextual Value Added (CVA) measure and contextual families focusing on English as an Additional Language (EAL) and mobility. 2. How have families been grouped? Schools are grouped into families based on an average of prior attainment data and context data. Prior attainment data is the Average Key Stage 2 (KS2) Point Score (APS) for all pupils in Year 7 to Year 11 matched to Key Stage 4 data. Context data includes: • Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index (IDACI) data, calculated by linking individual pupil postcodes to IDACI data and compiling an average figure for each school1. • The proportion of pupils eligible to receive Free School Meals (FSM). • The IDACI and FSM school averages are combined to give an overall indicator for the School Environment (SE). • The percentage of pupils whose first language is known or believed to be other than English (EAL). • A mobility measure, defined as the percentage of pupils in Year 10 or Year 11 who have joined the school within the last 2 years (L2Y).

Schedule of Background Papers None Hard to Place Pupil Protcol – Draft [July 04 05] 1 HARD TO PLACE PUPIL PROTOCOL (DRAFT) 1.0 Background 1.1 The DfES issued the Circular, Guidance on Hard To Place Pupils (LEA/0316/2004) in November 2004 requiring two areas for action. These were: i) that the local Admissions Forum develop a protocol on the admission of hard to place pupils; ii) that work be undertaken on delegating or devolving funding to groups of schools to enable them to take responsibility for managing difficult pupils and making alternative provision where necessary. 1.2 The first of these elements has been undertaken and the draft Protocol is attached at Appendix 1 for the Cabinet's consideration. 1.3 The second required action is part of a much larger piece of work which is underway and the elements of this are detailed in Appendix 2. 1.4 As the Hard To Place Pupils Protocol is intended to relate to the placement of secondary pupils in the first instance, the deliberations and consultations have been held with secondary colleagues and teacher associations, though when this was presented to the SIP Board and Schools' Forum, primary headteachers expressed an interest in considering this as an option once it had been introduced to the secondary sector.

  • Improving Wellbeing Through Secondary Physical Education
    IMPROVING WELLBEING THROUGH SECONDARY PHYSICAL EDUCATION PIONEERING A FRESH AND SUSTAINABLE APPROACH TO POSITIVE PHYSICAL HEALTH, EMOTIONAL WELLBEING AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT SUPPORTING PARTNER: FOREWORD At the Youth Sport Trust we have always recognised the unique power of PE and sport to change lives for the better. Right now, there is no greater need than the wellbeing of our nation. At a time when young people are experiencing unprecedented rates of obesity and poor emotional wellbeing, and where interpersonal skills and social interaction are under pressure from new forms of communication, we are not making the most of a subject that is unparalleled in its potential to address the challenges of this generation. It is a time to be bold and reimagine Physical Education. Our aim is to reposition it as the curriculum subject which delivers wellbeing outcomes as the highest priority, supports learning and promotes wider achievement while retaining its essence as an education in, through and about the physical. It is an essential building block of a broad and balanced curriculum to meet the needs of all learners and unlock their potential to achieve across the school and in life. The pioneering PE practitioners and headteachers we work with are at the vanguard of this area. They are using a diverse and strategically planned PE and sport offer to benefit and engage all students. They are addressing wellbeing issues which stand in the way of students achieving their potential in school and life; developing self-esteem, raising aspirations, building self-control and helping students manage the symptoms of anxiety.

The data is updated annually and therefore may be subject to change in future years. Yes in either the level 2 or level 3 column indicates that the school concerned is considered as an RVC Contextual School for that level only (e.g. only where an applicant has taken qualifications at that level and at that institution). A no in either column indicates the school concerned is not considered an RVC Contextual School for that level. Where a school is marked N/A this means that there was insufficient data available to determine whether the school was considered as an RVC Contextual School.
